The Ship

Royal Caribbean’s NEW Independence of the Seas® is overflowing with more ways to fill your time between all of those Rock ‘n Roll shows you’ll be enjoying out on the Pool Deck, in the Royal Theatre, in Star Lounge or in Studio B. You’ll never run out of things to do or places to treat your taste buds on this ship! Catch a game while enjoying wings at PlaymakersSM Sports Bar & Arcade or feast on made-to-order rolls at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi. Indulge your sweet tooth at Sugar BeachSM or gear up for a glow-in-the-dark laser tag face-off in Battle for Planet ZSM.

The Independence of the Seas from Royal Caribbean is one of the biggest, fastest and most luxurious passenger vessels in service today. It is served by an international crew of 1,440 on 15 decks. With a gross tonnage of 154,407 and 4 bow thrusters, it can truly be said that the rock-themed benefit voyage will be a “heavy” experience. The ship, nearly a quarter of a mile long, cruises at 21.6 knots and this time around we are scheduled for a port stop in George Town, Grand Cayman. Oh yeah!

What Passengers Think

First time on RLC cruise and it was, by far, one of the best damn times I’ve ever had in my life! Loved every band we saw, especially Sammy, Bad Company and Artimus Pyle! Had already booked for VII before we even went on this one and won’t be giving up my reservation for anything! I do agree with another reviewer that the chair reserving/holding on the deck needs to be addressed and the smoking everywhere on deck 11 was a little much. Thank you NAHA for nailing it for us true rockers!!

Mary, Talk about a Rock-n-Roll fantasy!

2018 was our first Rock Legends Cruise and as soon as we got off the boat we booked RLC7 for 2019. The entire experience was such a good vibe. Everybody on board from passengers to artists are just having a great time. It’s not hard to do when everyone around you is happy.
